in the most ideal future, everyone's job is just to tinker around with silly self-directed little projects whenever they feel like it and nobody really knows how it all manages to fit together into a functioning society

Notebook sticker situation update! We have now reached maximum capacity. I realised I put the W3C sticker (featuring the new logo, too!) upside down. Most of the new stickers came from B-Side Label Japan. And thank you for the repair sticker, @ox.ca!

A hand holding a dusty pink notebook covered with stickers, clockwise: 1. A purple oval with the words “Nothing is a mistake”, 2. A sort of mushroom character striking a pose, 3. A lucky charm-like sticker with an illustration of a hamster sitting in a teacup of green tea and in Japanese says “I lived today, too!”, 4. A pink rectangle with Japanese kanji character for “social misfit”, 5. An old TV set with a quote by Nam June Paik: “I use technology in order to hate it properly.”, 6. A sticker that copies the look of a Japanese train ticket.The back of the same notebook, also covered in stickers, clockwise: 1. A blue square with an icon of a wrench and the words “Move carefully and fix things”, 2. Ascii art of mountains, clouds, and grass and the Our Networks logo pixelised, 3. The W3C (World Wide Web Consortium)’s new logo (it is upside down), 3. The Merveilles Mastodon community’s logo, 4. A femme person jumping for joy with the words in Japanese “I quit (my job)!”, 5. The mascot for a local restaurant named Gateau Ghost, it is an illustration of some sort of  blob character with eyes and a smile, 6. A spoof of the green exit sign, except this time a bear is the one running out the door. There are Japanese characters underneath it that (I think) mean “Exit” or “Escape”.

“When I was born, I was of the Universe. When I was five, I was the same as everybody else. When I was eight, the war started: I was different. During the war, I was displaced: I was a ‘Jap.’

Accessibility isn’t only compliance or conformance; it isn’t just acknowledging and considering the various needs of different types of people. It is about being kind, first and foremost. Instead of thinking of the “user”, we need to view them as people and not statistics or engagement.
